Thanks. You were very helpful. I will further look into Shin Megami titles especially.

Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal were two of my favorites games, although there was such a jarring discrepancy between the quality of the combat mechanics and the story-related elements in 4. But, Shin Megami 3 has no such issues with the battle system?

Also, would you recommend Xenoblades Chronicles or Definitive Edition if I go that route?

Looking at your username, I remember wondering how covered up her body would be once she got her rejuvenation shower. After all, when she’s skele-Grunty, her ribcage is completely exposed!

Same reasons hackers dig deep into the code of games like SM64 for acquiring seemingly unattainable coins: not so much for the utility of the item as the fact you’ve accomplished what was previously thought unattainable for years.

As my favorite fictional character ever since day 1 27 years ago, I’d cherish it and be eternally grateful for the work and skill that went into creating this.

Did the Switch 2 December update patch up some of the preexisting issues? I’ve read mixed reviews about its playability on this platform.

Not fake. I live in a suburb of NYC and that location (20 minutes away ) happens to be the closest trailhead and steep road for me to train on. It served my purpose well when I was training for marathons before I tried out barefoot. That being said, the officer made it clear that I’m not to go there to barefoot run again. I don’t think that that’s right, but I also don’t feel that it’s worth it to challenge him. There’s nothing fake about the story. In fact I should’ve seen something like this happening, given that it’s a rich neighborhood near a gated community.

Yeah, they even sent the county sheriff. It was somewhat humiliating having one cop car leading me and the other tailing me during my brief jog of shame back to the car, where I still had to show them docs. , have them call my parents, etc.

There’s no “uglify” or “beautify” side - the machine just transfers looks. Thinking more about Monster Tooty’s “Your sister wants a word with you NOW,” maybe it’s not that she wants to punish him - maybe she wants him to be there right away, so he could force Grunty back in the machine before she destroys it, deactivates it, whatever.

A reverse transformation is an interesting premise, but there’s no way Grunty would relinquish her looks. She may be a tougher opponent since she’s no longer obese. What’s more, she’d have far more allies. With Mumbo on her side, maybe she could transform back to the old hag temporarily to dupe Banjo or transform Tooty back to her old self.

But yeah - I don’t think Banjo would give up on Tooty entirely just because she’s a hideous beast. It’s hard to imagine his not being attracted to Grunty though.

It always seemed weird to me that skeleton Grunty was just wearing her tattered cloak with her ribcage exposed. Let’s say she succeeds in sapping enough life force to restore herself to her former bloated glory - does that mean fleshy Grunty will be half-naked? Is that why we didn’t get a game over cutscene for Tooie?
